Anybody know what the name is of font used for the "Cherokee" emblem? I know Arial Black is close, but the 'C', 'r' and 'e' are off.

As long as I can do it in my driveway with hand tools i would but it was suggested to me that the bolts are typically rusted on and may not come off. I don't have a cutting torch nor air tools. I don't want to find myself stuck halfway Into the job where i cant finish it. I would get fined where i live if i had this on jack stands on my driveway more than a day. My town changes allot in the last ten years.

I believe that those are all usually replaced at the same time as well. Can somebody back me up on that?
Its $200 a pair for them to take em off and give em to me. I don't know how I would pull them in the junk myself or how much cheaper it would be if i could.

Can you or someone tell me whats a good price to pay for used springs? .. I see people on here parting out jeeps all the time and sometimes they are not too far from me .
$200 for a used set of springs is truly not a good deal. I'm about to order a brand new set of ProComp rear leafs, for a 3.5" lift, plus new u-bolts shipped to me for about $220.
Thank you for repeating what others have mentioned, in that its not a good deal, I do appreciate you trying to drive that point in, but let me reassure you that I believed it the first time it was mentioned.
I am not going to buy them at that price. So let me thank you for looking out for me.
I had asked if someone can suggest a fair price for a set of used stock springs.
Do you have any suggestions what a fair price would be?

Unless the new set is from a 97 or newer 2-door you'll be fine....but even then i beleive its just the strike bolts or whatever that are in different spots

I just took out the black plastic wheel well liners in front and I was going to bed liner it and caulk up some of the holes. On the front passenger there is a sort of egg shaped black capsule thing in the bumper any one know what it is? There are also horn looking things on both sides. I was wondering in I should re locate them or shield them some how. I kept the plastic liners so I can cut pieces and mount it if I need to.

That is your vac. Reserve canister, move it up behind your battery. Make sure it isn't damaged. Also check the line going to it.
